-- Who is that for?
Everyone who is involved as a contributor in Mer.
What about contributors that cannot make it there due to being on the
other side of the planet?
Well, given the earth is quite big we have to make some compromises :)
OTOH, if funding will be enough, we might be able to sponsor long haul
flights. In several sprints we made before and we still do, people
flew/fly in from literally the other side of the planet, especially if
being sponsored.
-- How does it work?
The format we thought about (up for discussion) is a 5-days sprint,
starting Wednesday and ending Sunday, with Saturday as an Open Day.
The open day will be an opportunity to do some outreach to the local
communities for Mer.
-- When?
The dates are up for bidding. I've made a Doodle:
http://www.doodle.com/y7mtvzxpwy5x96k8
In which I put only monday as a date. The format is "this week works
for me".
-- Where?
The venue is up for bidding. Ispirata offers his offices in Venice,
Italy, as a possibility. Quite close to Venice and Treviso airport,
accomodation nearby, good food, good climate :) Other proposals are
welcome.
-- Costs?
The venue must be sponsored by the provider, so that the only costs
are travel and accommodation. In KDE, we have successfully done
indiegogo/kickstarter campaigns to partially or completely finance
those costs. This is something I plan to do once the sprint is
confirmed.
-- Ok, I like this. How do we get there?
With some deadlines :) I'd like to open a call for participation and
call for venues today, ending February 17th, which should be enough
time for everyone to settle. The venue will be decided on a "minimal
cost basis", as is: the less people who have to travel long distances,
the better.
We're going to use Doodle for polling participants and dates (link
above).
Given pretty much everything is up for discussion, please reply to
this thread if you want to help making the sprint happen or have other
proposals.
Thanks for reading everything, and hope to see you soon!
